I'm with you, and I'd further that by adding that their background & harmonies contributions are the best on IYD out of *any* of Stevie solo albums. They never over reach or overwhelm Stevie's vocals. Instead they remain as they should - more subtle in mix, and are most effective and beautiful on "You May Be The One", WSS, SL & Moonlight. Now that it's brought up, the only songs from TISL I can recall hearing Lori & Sharon are "Every Day" & POTU, otherwise I hear lots of Sheryl, Natalie, Macy & Sarah. So I guess IYD is a full circle moment for the trio to some degree as well. But mostly I wish Stevie would harmonize even more with herself. She is her own best harmony singer imo. It's still quite evident when I listen to FWIW, and other little parts throughout the record.
